[/quote] That might work. I'm not sure. Farming really isn't my area of expertise. I just know that the soil can become barren after awhile.

Qoheleth Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 You can rotate the species you plant in a field to keep it fertile. Peanuts do a fairly good job of replenishing the soil, or so I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyman Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 late start at old common law - from the center of the earth to the top of the sky (that last one is a little fluid - but dates from when they weren't sure if that was roof up there with little holes to let the light in) severance of growing crops - ferae naturae - oh, terms I haven't thought about in so long it hurts to try and remember them!!

God Conquers Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 The REAL problem is cost. Now, I've never actually met you so I can't 100% say it's impossible.... but... Kansai Airport in Japan is an artificial island. It's only 4 km square. Which is enough space for about... 3-5 families to live on (that is if they grow their own food etc) It cost 15 BILLION dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to one of my friends in High School, until a few second before you land all you can see out your window is water below the plane. kinda scary.

iggy Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Yeah, but Japan is already an island, and we want to just make one, so the market shouldn't be as bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
